BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - July 19

Resting easy this week

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boss Hogg:

• For those not familiar with the old show, Boss Hogg was a character on The Dukes of Hazzard.
• Cliff would make the old Boss Hogg proud between his amazingly quick win to reenter the house, then his HoH win and now his nominations.
• Before I get into more -- now that the Camp ComeBack room is empty, it's not.
• The Have-Nots are back in town.
• I believe they volunteered to go on slop this time around.
• Although it's hard to believe that Jackson, Hider of Food, would really go thee willingly. He steals food and hides it. He eats a ton. If I ate as much as he does, I'd be on that 600 Pound Life show (whatever it's called).
• But Jackson is indeed a Have Not as are Kat, Christie and Tommy.
• Now, everyone worked on Cliff to try to avoid the block.
• Christie told him of her power. Now I think everyone in the house knows about it because she also told Nicole yesterday.
• Sam told him about his conversation with Jack in which Jack screwed up mentioning the eight, then putting him (Sam) in there calling it nine, then accidentally calling it eight again.
• Cliff wants to work with Nick, Bella, Sam, Jess, Kat and Nicole.
• Bella is going to be the weak link wild card of that bunch.
• Nick seems to have come to the realization that Bella is affecting his own game and is going to try to get her going on more of an even keel.
• Cliff knows that Nicole is vehemently against Bella (in particular out of Nick and Bella) but wants her to try to work with her.
• The Jacks tried to tell Cliff how to run his HoH and the targets he should choose.
• But, in the end, Cliff did what he thought was best for his game.
• He made that big move -- Jack and Jackson are on the block.
• His target is Jack more than Jackson.
• If Christie is smart (well, maybe it could happen), she won't waste her power to save either.
• I do think she would like Jack out of the way because he is a threat to win. But no way would she ever put him up if she were HoH. This would solve that problem for her.
• She's got some kind of love/hate thing going on with him.
• At least now Cliff can give his Cliff Notes from the solitude of the HoH room AND see if anyone is eavesdropping with the spy cam.
  



Tommy is a bit of a sneaky snake



Sam telling Cliff about the 8, 9, 8



I'm not freaking out



Bad News Bella shouldn't be forgotten.



Jack hugs Cliff after nominations. Yeah.



Stepping up the game.

BB21: Live Feeds Brief, HOH into Thursday Night - July 18

You could have discussed it with me!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hogg Heaven:

• The live feeds didn't return immediately after the live show ended here on the East Coast.
• Eventually, they returned to a very dejected and forlorn Nick.
• He kept telling them that they should have discussed it with him.
• He said Bella is a recruit and doesn't know the game.
• Jack and Bella don't want to trust each other if they talk with people outside of "the nine."
• Christie and Sam talked, with him telling her that he wished he had known and that he would have had no problem in keeping Nicole in the house.
• He also told her he wants to work with her to get the Jacks out. Hmm.
  
• Tommy was running around, pretty much sucking up to everyone.
• They all remember that Cliff was the one vowing to target couples … and he thinks that Christie/Tommy are a couple, too.
• Nicole was more or less shell-shocked. She really thought she'd be voted out and then she wasn't. But she does at least have Cliff as an ally. She thinks. She hopes.
• Lots of fingers were pointed at Bella as the impetus of the move.
• As they should be, of course.
• So, there was drama and more drama to be had.
• Then the feeds got blocked for the HoH comp.
• Cliff is the new HoH.
• You heard me.
• Cliff.
• Jack is steaming! Apparently he came in a close second and almost won.
• "I wanted my room back and to be able to make decisions in the game." -- I'm paraphrasing there.
• However, he really meant: I WANT TO CONTROL EVERYBODY. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PUT YOUR SHAKER BOTTLE IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
• Yep. That's what he means!
• Meanwhile, Cliff told Jess that anyone who's been on the block before has nothing to worry about -- he will not put them up.
• So, that would be Jess, Nicole, Kat are safe.
• As he was alone in a room packing up his stuff to move to the HoH room, Cliff turned to the cameras and said, "There's a new sheriff in town. You can call me Hogg. Or you can call me Boss Hogg." With a tip and a toss of his cowboy hat, he headed towards the door. "Mic drop."
• This should be interesting.
• At least it's so much better than Jack or Jackson or any of them winning.

Shaving isn't a cure for nastiness

I'm so sorry, Nick!

There's a new sheriff in town

BB21: Live Eviction Camp ComeBack Show Blog Party - 7/18

Hamster watchers and blog readers ready? This is the one we've been waiting for! At this time, no matter who comes back, it's going to be someone we like better than most in the house! While I'm hoping it's David because I feel he's the strongest gamer in Camp ComeBack, I'd welcome any of them back in.

I think, though I might be wrong, that we'll see the eviction and whatever they do with the return of the campers, but we might not see the HoH comp on the show tonight. There's been no blurb about it being on the live feeds, so the feeds might be blocked for it.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and you can find the standings right at this here link.

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

You'd think they'd have too much show ahead to do "previously on." but we must suffer through it. :::tapping foot:::

"Mob of nine" and "pitchforks" -- we're seeing a change in the editing. But I'd prefer they get on with the new show, please.

Julie, dressed in a summer look, tells us that the person voted out will go to compete. She tells the house about the ComeBack Comp. Winner will come back in house, the other three will be sent home.

With a hint of a blindside from Julie, we pick up the clips action to after the veto ceremony. Cliff thinks it's every man for himself. Nicole doesn't really want to campaign against Cliff. 

She turns to Kemi, her buddy in the house. She thinks she only has Ovi, Kemi and Cliff in the game. Nick tells Cliff he's safe. Christie is apologizing about her behavior to Nick when she was thinking he was going to put her on the block. Now she thinks she needs to prove she's more trustworthy to Nick and Bella. She tells them that she has the Diamond Power of Veto.

Jackson and Tommy talk about not trusting Nick. Or Bella. He tells us that they would have taken a shot at them if Nick hadn't won HoH. They decide to call themselves the Six Shooters -- Christie, Jack, Jackson, Tommy, Analyse and Holly. Christie tells the girls she doesn't want to vote out Nicole. She pushes the idea that Nicole would go after Nick and Bella.

Christie seems to be getting the six on her side in her quest to keep Nicole and blindside Nick and Bella. Meanwhile, Nick is smug in thinking Cliff will stay and the other six have their backs.

Julie visits the Campers -- she says all three want vengeance. David says he wants to build relationships while he's in limbo. He's being as charming as he can be. He tells us Jackson in number one on his list. But he wants him to trust him. Ovi sticks up for fair treatment. He tells us he wants to make a difference. Then they show others treating him badly. His cookies are always a hit, though. He thinks Cliff is his number one ally. Cliff tells him that Nicole is going this week. 

Then we're to Kemi. She's upset -- Nicole is the only person she trusts in the game. They play a game of describing relationships with the others in the game. She talks about Jack's obsession with hating her. Her goal if she comes back is to get rid of Jack. 

To the living room for the live vote --
Cliff - Howdy, shout-outs to family, loves the game, bonds and friendships with y'all, want to stay, but no hard feelings.
Nicole - Shout-outs, wise and strong woman told her to grab life by the boobs, not mine, follow your heart, vote for me to stay. Crowd and Julie all giggle.

The votes to evict:
Analyse - Cliff
Bella - Nicole
Jack - Cliff
Sam - Nicole
To commercial …
Jessica - Nicole
Kat - Nicole, but knows what's going on
Christie - Cliff
Holly - Cliff
Jackson - Cliff
Tommy - Cliff

By a vote of 6 to 4. Cliff is the final member of the camp. Nick/Bella seem shocked. Hugs all around. 

The four have to head outside right NOW according to Julie. But first … we have a commercial. 

To the ComeBack Comp. Cliff has a uniform now, too. Path to Redemption. Roll balls down a table maze raised highway extended kind of thing. First one with six balls in, wins. Cliff scores first, then second. Two minutes left, Cliff gets three. Four! Ovi got his first. Cliff five. Cliff six.

Beating the clock by 48 seconds, CLIFF returns to the house! Not what I would have predicted. David and Kemi didn't even sink one ball, Ovi got his one in.

Julie will talk to all three leaving the game.

David has tears (real, I believe). He's proud of Cliff, though. He's very upset. To Ovi -- ostracized? Why? They were playing a game, didn't want to tell the campers info. Kemi and Ovi both were surprised Nicole stayed. Julie tells David he was right with the couples and power. Ovi and David rooting for Cliff. Kemi is for Sam. They all wish Nicole well.

The extended interview will be online at cbs.com. The HoH will be shown on Sunday.Next week is endurance.

BB21: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 18

The games they play

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fatal Errors:

• You notice I have a lot of screencaps in this entry.
• You know I post more screencaps when I have less to report.
• Well. That's all. G'bye.
• Ahem.
• The majority of the majority alliance is determined to blindside the minority of the majority alliance.
• Got it?
• In other words, Christie, the Jacks, Holly, Analyse and Tommy plan to blindside Nick and Bella by keeping Nicole and voting out Cliff.
• Of course, technically it would be Cliff being blindsided, but …!
• Now, this is BB. The plan could all fall apart between now and tonight.
• The biggest crinkle in the plan seems to be a silly controversy whether to tell Kat (not part of the alliance) or not.
• Christie thinks she might spill the beans while others think that if they don't tell her, she'll never trust them again.
• What a dilemma!
• They're thinking the solution would be to tell her just before the vote.
• Now, who says they don't have a brain among them?
• Jackson (Michie, whatever) thinks he's got David in his pocket. Of those in Camp ComeBack (thinking Cliff joins them tonight), he knows David stands the best chance of winning a comp to come back in. So, he's been working on getting closer with David.
• Tell ya what, Jackson. David might seem like he's interested in working with you. But he's not. He's got your number. You guys were right -- David is dangerous indeed. Not in whatever racist way you meant, but in the game. I look at David and he just might be the best gamer in the house.
• In other news, Jack was crying (again) last night. I'm sure they won't air that on the show even though they're slowly giving a bit more accurate in editing.
• Tommy and Christie tried to make him feel better but he said he couldn't talk about it.
• Hmm. I haven't seen his bad behaviors acting up in the last day or so to any greater extent than in the past. So, I just don't know. Maybe I missed something?
• There are still rumors that Jess has a power. They need to cut that out.
• I think Jess is a nice enough person, but she's just so expendable in the house. It would have been more interesting to have Kemi in there this past week.
• I'm getting more and more disappointed with Sam. I do understand him not wanting to make waves and such. I really do. But it's beginning to look like he just might continue to go with the flow and not take it seriously that he's so low on the totem pole that he's actually six feet under.
• His name keeps being mentioned. He's on "their" list.
• Bella's name on the list is much more prominent right now. They think that if they get her out, Nick isn't any sort of threat and will come back to the fold … or go away. Either way.
• Jersey Boy Nick is shaming my state. In one breath he's saying he wants to spit in Kemi's face; in the next breath he's saying he has to watch what he says because, after all, he has a job working with kids.
• Now I understand why he still lives at home with his Mom.
• That's all I have for you right now.
• Tonight's show is a must see!

They deserve each other

Laryngitis would be nice, please.

Thinks David would work with him. Heh.

She's very peripheral in this blindside

Kavid continues on.

Sam! You're not one of them! PLAY!

Nicole CANNOT go!

Love ya, Kemi. But David would play better.

Blindside coming?

BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 17

Who wants to win the Power of Veto? I think just about all of them want it!

As tonight's show airs, I'll be live blogging the major happenings right here. As I'll keep updating this entry, just refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the party itself is in the comments area -- please join in on the fun!

Just a couple of notes:

• Remember! No live feeds spoilers in show post comments. Please wait until the winner is shown on the show.
• There are sever thunderstorms rolling through here. If I vanish, I've just lost power. It would be unlikely that I passed away. No need to call emergency services.

Let's get on with the show …

Previously on and on. I refuse to recap!

We get to see Kaitlyn from BB20 tonight. I hope she isn't putting together a five piece puzzle!

We pick up the action after nominations. Of course, Jess thinks she has a chance at the veto, as does Cliff. Nicole thinks she's still in danger because of the hinky vote being blamed on her. 

Bella blabs to Tommy naming names of her allies who Nicole said were betraying her and Nick. Now Analyse is on her high horse about Nicole telling her that Nick and Bella are bullies. Now Bella tells us that Nicole conned them good and she's the "devil."

Now the eight are meeting in the HoH room and they don't let Nicole in, telling her they're talking game. Jackson is in his glory because he had been setting up Nicole with the hinky vote and he also knows the Bella/Sam were indeed talking about getting him and Jack out -- two birds taken care of with one stone.

Nicole is now extremely worried. Ovi is upset that Nicole was bullied by the crowd in the HoH room. He goes and confronts them telling them it's cruel. Do they even care? Nah.

Nick is now planning on going back on his promise to keep Nicole safe this week, now wants her as his main target.

Since Sam was in with the others, he's now some kind of 9th in the already too large alliance. They're calling themselves Undenineable.

David confronts Christie about how they treated Ovi when he went up there. Then Ovi asks Jack for a moment. "Yeah? WHAT?" Jack is rude to him. Obi tells us that Jack is disrespectful. Jack brushes off Nicole when she comes upon them. 

Nicole, Bella and Nick talk. She tells them she went to them in confidence and is upset they told the whole house. Bella tells her that some of what she told them seems untrue. Saying they bullied her is obnoxious and a lie, will not tolerate. Now Nicole is kicking herself for actually going to Bella. Bella talks at Nicole and doesn't give Nicole a chance to answer. Tommy is there and thinks Nicole is indeed being bullied by Bella. 

Nicole is crying to Jess. She says she came in there as an anti-bullying advocate. I believe her. Poor girl is in tears and not the dramatic type. She's truly hurt. 

Nicole talks to Bella to attempt to speak up for herself. Bella isn't much better than she was in their last talk even though Nicole is talking. Most of the eight arrive and Nick confronts Nicole telling her she had him almost putting up Jack and Jackson (in front of them). Nicole finally speaks up and says it's all Bella's lies and that she is being blamed for it. 

Time to pick veto players! Nick randomly draws Jackson. Cliff draws Kat. Jess gets Houseguest's Choice, goes for Christie. Yeah, you heard me. Jess tells us she can't mess up her game to save Nicole. Nicole knows she's the backdoor target. If she played and won, both she and Jess would be safe.

They go to the backyard -- Kaitlyn (Tommy's all time favorite?) is there. Who wants to hear a ghost story? A long time ago there was a girl who couldn't put a puzzle together to save her BB life. It's still haunting the house and her. Welcome to her nightmare. They have to enter her nightmare world, find the puzzle pieces and put her puzzle together. Who's ready to play the Puzzling of Kaitlyn Hermann? This is cute.

It's harder than her puzzle was -- there are seven pieces! Finding them in the dark with smoke and mirrors is the harder part. Nick got all the pieces quickly but is Kaitlyining his puzzle. 

KAT wins the Power of Veto!

Christie is getting a weird vibe from Nick. She thinks he's saying stuff to freak her out. Now she thinks he wants to backdoor her. She tells Kat and gets hysterical and all dramatic as only Christie can be. Then she shares her fear with Analyse, too. Kat tells her if she is going up, she won't use the veto. But it also could just be Christie freaking because she's Christie. Now she's freaking out to all the girls except Nicole and Bella.

Kat tells us she needs to do what's best for her own game. Christie is still freaking and tempted to use her power.

Veto meeting time. Kat saves Jess from the block. Nick puts Nicole on. Sigh. He claims that he doesn't get mad, he gets even. Sigh again.

Bella is smug about it. 

Poor Nicole.
